BANDAI SPIRITS(バンダイ スピリッツ) Gundam - HG 1/144 Hyakuri - Model Kit

The Hyakuri's instructions are clearly labelled, the stand is a good height, and the model is, as the photo shows, a loving rendition, as is always the case with these.I would warn folks who want to put this one together, however, that since it's a dual mode, there are extra instructions in the back you might want to partially do, for example, just before you've put the backpack together, and flight mode requires rebuilding the backpack around the arms. Some parts can be a little confusing, like the gun wings or the inside leg struts (Wait, what's this for? *five minutes later* Ohhhh, it's a support strut in the leg articulation, sweet!)But these are more warnings to newer Gunpla model collectors that this one is an intermediate build, difficulty wise, than any criticism. As noted, it's lovely!

This is yet another great kit out of the HGIBO line; it's my favourite so far. The kit was a great build and has some gorgeous mechanical details. With this kit's unique and menacing design, it really stands out among my other kits.If you're tired of building similar kits (especially with the HGIBO line), then this kit will make for a good change. It is a unique build that doesn't share the same inner-frame design as other IBO kits.One thing to note is that the waist joint is not strong enough to hold up the backpack, so if you don't use the stand to support the backpack, you'll have trouble posing the kit; however, you can somewhat remedy this by putting some topcoat (or even tape) on the waist joint.

Deshalb habe ich mir das Model Kit auch zugelegt. Eigentlich eine gute Sache, dass das Mechdesign von Gundam ab und an andere Züge annimmt. Der Hyakuri von der Serie „Iron-Blooded Orphans“ erinnert stark an die ACs von Armored Core mit seinem gewaltigen Rückenvorsprung.Das Modell war gut zusammenzubauen. Es gab jedoch Baugruppen, die Probleme mit der Passgenauigkeit hatten. Eine Armplatte ging nur schwer rein, bis es irgendwann mal klappte. Vollkommen lose ist eine tellerrunde Platte, die auf den Rückenvorsprung eingebettet werden muss. Hier Modelbaukleber zu Hand haben. Die Sticker (wer sie auch verwendet), gehen noch wegen ihrer Größe easy zu kleben - Gibt für Gunplas wirklich mikroskopischere Sticker und Decals.Als Zubehör kommen zwei Gewehre und ein Ständer dazu. Die Waffen fallen Mager aus. Sie sind auch vom gesamten Bausatz am fragilsten, also Vorsicht! Der Klarsichtständer ist einfach und nicht Beweglich. Er ist aber notwendig um den Hyakuri auszubalancieren, weil der Vorsprung ihn in den meisten Posen nach hinten fallen lässt.Der Hyakuri ist äußerst Beweglich, besonders die Beine, weil er wie bei den meisten Mobile Suits keine störenden Lendenplatten besitzt. Man kann ihn also lebhaft in Szene setzen.War ansonsten ein riesen Spaß das Ding zusammenzubauen. Ich finde auch, der Hyakuri sieht schön aus.

La scatola mi è arrivata in condizioni perfette così come il suo contenuto. Facile da montare persino per un novellino come me, dato che questo è stato il mio primo gunpla (ho risolto il tutto nel giro di 2 ore e mezza con tanto di attenta pulitura delle varie nubs). Essendo un 1/144 le dimensioni sono contenute (12 cm in altezza) ma non si sacrificano certo i dettagli, che sono molti e ben disegnati. Lo stand può essere posizionato sia al di sotto del backpack che del busto, permettendo un ampio range di pose. Pollice in su per Bandai.

What a unique model! I enjoy building these gundam even though I know nothing about the show. To me, they're just models. This one caught my eye and I'm very happy it did. The kit was a LOT of fun to put together and it resembles nothing else on the shelf. It comes with a clear plastic stand to keep it upright and it works perfectly, barely noticeable. I wouldn't recommend this kit for a first-timer but for anyone else, snap this up! It looks super cool and with the built-in stand you can do so many great leg poses.
